Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 217 Selection of Materials for Intermediate Assessment
The Xun family of Yingchuan married with the Yin family of Yingchuan in order to expand their influence.As a result, as soon as she got married, Yin Yu, the thin eldest son of the Yin family, was poisoned. At this critical time, Xun You was also pregnant for three months.

As a result of the investigation, the most suspected contact with the poisoner was a servant girl from the Xun family, which made the situation confusing and even made people wonder whether it was the Xun family who planned to annex the Yin family.

And because of the maid's resignation and disappearance, it is even more difficult to find her. Even Xun Yu doesn't have to think about it, he knows that the maid is probably no longer in this world, but in this way, the Xun family will have a murderer. The serious suspicion of silencing, coupled with the matter of the Yin family, can't be completely cleaned up.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen..." Xun Mi also felt a headache. Fortunately, the current investigation is an internal investigation, and it has not been spread out, and no one is behind it.

Although the Yingchuan Xun family has a great influence, it has occupied a lot of Yingchuan's interests, and there are many people who hope to replace it.While enjoying the glory of the family, maintaining the family conscientiously is also something that the children of the family must understand.

"Perhaps this is also a warning from the real murderer!" Xun Yu thought more, "Let's not pursue it any further, otherwise the more we investigate, the more news that will be unfavorable to our Xun family!"

"However, the other party was able to hide without anyone noticing. If one person is placed in our Xun family, more people can be placed! I don't want our family to become a sieve, and everything will be exposed to other people's eyes. Everything is being secretly manipulated!" Xun Yu was aware of the seriousness of the matter.

"This can only be done slowly, but in the future, we must be cautious when employing people." Xun Yu said slowly, she came back not only for marriage issues, after all, as a daughter of the Xun family, it is an instinct to defend the interests of the family the behavior of.

The two mothers and daughters were discussing things here, but Wang Yong was in the back kitchen, discussing with Kuang Chu.

"I didn't expect that Chef Kuang's strength has risen to this level during this period of time..." After eating the dishes cooked by Kuang Chu, Wang Yong could feel that the other party's control of umami has been significantly improved .

Just for this move, he must have a place among the top three chefs.

"Having said that, Kuang has no idea how to incorporate strong ideas into the dishes..." Kuang Chu was not very happy, because he was stuck here and couldn't make any progress.It is too painful for a chef to be unable to enter even though he has come into contact with the field of a super chef.

"Perhaps, you need to have a relationship!" Wang Yong thought about it carefully, "Find someone who is worthy of you and go all out!"

"Love... I will carefully consider your proposal." Kuang Chu couldn't help thinking, but it wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't find anything he wanted.He is a senior chef anyway, and he doesn't want to find any woman and marry him.

Two days later, Wang Yong brought kitchen utensils and came to Yingyin's chef's guild.Today, due to the mid-level chef exam, other businesses will not be accepted for the time being. At the same time, a special area will be reserved for the chefs who come to take the exam.

Wang Yong got off in the carriage, and Kuang Chu brought him here himself.Pointing to the chef waiting there, he said to Wang Yong: "Don't underestimate this exam, many of them have taken it several times. After all, intermediate chefs can become official, so in terms of culinary skills, you need to It is much higher than a junior chef. At the same time, it must be above the fifth rank to be eligible to be an official, so many who fail to reach the fifth rank will continue to take the exam, and at the same time continue to hone their cooking skills every year."

Not only intermediate chefs, if junior chefs really want to be promoted, they must seize the opportunity to continue learning.Many of them will work for intermediate chefs, with the purpose of being able to practice their cooking skills.Among this group of people, Wang Yong even saw the two assistant cooks who had been helping him in the army before.

Fortunately, the competition is not an elimination system, and no one will be eliminated because of this. The chef's guild still hopes to have more fresh blood flow in.It's just that there are only so many official positions, so naturally outstanding people can go up.And too many excellent people take the exam, and the exam party will also consider increasing the difficulty of the exam.After all, the more outstanding talents appear, the quality of the chef guild can also be improved.

"The ones below the fifth rank are attacking the fifth rank, and the truly outstanding ones are attacking the top three ranks. At the same time, junior chefs are also striving to be promoted to intermediate chefs. The competition is increasing every year..." Wang Yong is also very clear about the competitiveness of the chef industry .The recipes he knows will be exhausted one day, and cooking skills are the foundation of living.

"It's good to know, let's go!" Kuang Chu looked at Wang Yong's expression, nodded, and left directly.For this young man, he is not worried at all, even if he only has the qualifications of a junior chef, he already has the strength of a senior chef.

Blue out of blue?He doesn't like this very much, maybe because of the stimulating relationship, Kuang Chu himself is also preparing to challenge the senior chef again, as long as he enters the top three ranks, he will even challenge the special chef!
Wang Yong came to the venue, and after seeing him, two helpers also came to say hello.Although everyone is a competitor, there is no conflict of interest, and during this time, I have learned a lot of cooking skills with him, and I admire his personality very much.

"Master Chef, I didn't expect that we would take the same exam." One of the female chef assistants said excitedly.

"Yes, it's really fate!" Wang Yong replied with a nod.

Not only them, but other candidates also formed small groups along with regions, social circles, etc., and chatted with each other about the results of this period of time, or some knowledge and so on, before the exam.

"The barrow technology recently promoted by the chefs' guild has been confirmed, and pork may become a common meat in the future." Some chefs naturally talked about barrows.

"Indeed, the pork cuisine may be improved in the future. I have also studied it during this period of time. Unfortunately, there are not many barrows available. Most of them are only two or three months old. It is too wasteful to slaughter directly!" Another intermediate chef lamented road.

"Have you researched the new ingredients of tomatoes and that pepper?" Someone asked again.

"Tomatoes are sour and sweet, and can be used for cooking soup and stir-frying. Pepper is used for seasoning, which is more powerful than cornel..." Naturally, someone shared his trial process.

"I heard that Wanshiwu has found some crops recently and started to promote them in Xu County..." Someone mentioned high-yield crops, but the problem is that no one knows what these crops taste like.

"It's said that the yield is high, but I don't know how it tastes. But as long as the yield is high, at least the people don't have to go hungry." Those who would say such things must be children from poor families.After all, aristocratic families, especially those that deal in food, don't really like this high-yielding crop very much.

You know, in the early days, grain was used as the mainstream currency, stronger than five baht.That is based on the fact that food is scarce, but high-yield crops can destroy the system.

It can be said that Cao Cao's promotion of high-yield crops directly offended all the grain merchants in the world.She had offended the aristocratic family before, but she offended again because of the promotion of high-yield crops. It is estimated that it will be much more difficult to recruit talents in the future.

Wang Yong has been listening to all directions, and naturally he also heard their comments, and he couldn't help but feel entangled.Originally thought that the promotion of high-yielding crops would help Cao Cao provide stable military rations while allowing the common people to live and work in peace and contentment.

After all, only when you are full can you consider eating well, and if you have spare money, you can consider improving your life.As the economy improves, taxes will naturally increase, but this does not take into account the encroachment on the interests of the old class.

"If it doesn't work, just follow the model of the medical school and suggest that Cao Cao establish the concepts of township studies, county studies, county studies, and state studies, and cultivate talents by himself!" Wang Yong thought carefully.

"Silence, silence!" At this moment, the staff at the venue shouted, and everyone fell silent immediately.

Several middle-aged people came out slowly, one of them was a white-haired old man, obviously an elder of the guild.With one elder and four real power classes, they are the judges for this assessment.The assessment of intermediate chefs in other counties is probably similar to this configuration, right?

"The assessment is about to begin. Candidates are requested to choose the stove, and our staff will further verify the recommendation letter for official appointment." One of the middle-aged people looked at the candidates and announced directly.

After hearing the words, the examinees went to the stove one after another. The scene was a bit chaotic, but at least there was no competition.Immediately, they took out recommendation letters one after another, waiting for inspection.

The staff checked one by one, and there was no situation where Wang Yong expected to submit false recommendation letters.Think about it too, this is a very important assessment, how can you be so nonsense?If one is not careful, the junior chef qualification will be cancelled, and he will not be able to participate in the assessment for the rest of his life, that would be a sad reminder.

"The inspection is complete and confirmed to be correct!" When the staff announced this sentence, many people, including Wang Yong, breathed a sigh of relief.Knowing that there is no problem with my recommendation letter, but after all it was announced, I feel relieved.

"Junior chefs, the assessment is nothing more than junior knife skills, heat and seasoning!" The old man stood up after hearing this, "Intermediate chefs not only need to be able to cook, but also to cook well! The selection of ingredients, cooking, and plate presentation are also important. Pay attention at the beginning! Therefore, the first question of the exam is to select materials!"

Pointing to a pile of radishes not far away, he signaled to the candidates: "There are five piles of radishes here. The first level is for you to choose one of them to make the soup. Depending on the radish you choose, you will get different points. Whether you are high or low, it will all affect your next round of assessment! Then, let’s start choosing!”

It turns out that, unlike the junior chef assessment, which is directly rationed, this time it starts directly with the selection of ingredients.

Five piles of radishes seem to be five varieties, so in the elder's previous remarks, the point of being used for stewing soup became the focus.The one to choose is the radish that is most suitable for stewing soup. Wang Yong looked around, then came to the radish pile, and picked up a green-skinned radish. This radish was also selected, but it seemed that there were not many candidates.

Most of them choose an oval-shaped white radish variety. If Wang Yong remembers correctly, this kind of radish has a sweet taste and is indeed suitable for making soup. However, the faint spicy taste is unavoidable for white-skinned radishes.

"Okay, start scoring now!" Seeing that everyone has finished their selections, the referee began to announce the results, "The No. [-] radish is an old radish with a spicy taste, and the person who chooses will get zero points! The No. [-] radish has been placed for several days, and it is no longer juicy. , the person who chooses will get one point! The third radish is of good quality and tastes sweet, three points! The fourth is just an ordinary radish, two points for the choice! The last is the green radish, which tastes sweet, not only can be eaten raw, but also in soup The best choice, you can get five points for choosing!"
